Are there any age requirements?

All participants must be at least 21 years old with a valid photo ID.

What is a valid photo ID?

Colorado Liquor Laws state that any person consuming alcoholic beverages must possess a government issued form of identification including name, photo, and date of birth, and cannot be expired. Examples of ID include: driver's license or official nondriver's ID, U.S. or foreign passport, U.S. military ID, or permanent resident ID.

Should I bring anything with me?

It is a good idea to bring along a water bottle to use to cleanse the palate between beer tastings, and oyster crackers or pretzels are good to munch on, especially towards the end of the tour. Check the day’s forecast in case sunscreen or an umbrella might be helpful.

I would like to make dinner reservations for after the tour. What time should I make them for?

The 3:00 PM tours generally finish about 5:15 PM, but most people choose to spend more time socializing after. For this reason, it is recommended that you make dinner reservations for 6:00 PM or later so that you do not feel rushed.

Is the tour handicap accessible?

All of the stops on the tour are handicap accessible via wheelchair ramps. Most of the walking will be at a steady pace along the sidewalks of downtown Denver. At one point, the tour may take the free MallRide along 16th Street Mall. The shuttle is handicap accessible.

What about inclement weather?

Tours will go on, rain or shine. In the winter, if the weather is extreme and it is necessary that the tour be cancelled, attempts will be made to contact you in advance in order to reschedule.

"Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It is quite a bit of drinking, so it would be best to come with a full stomach and plans to do something downtown before driving. The variety and quality of the beer was good."

"Had a great time on the tour. We are Denver area residents and big into the beer scene already. We were given this Cloud 9 Living experience as a gift and chose to enjoy a late October Sunday afternoon, before the weather turned too cool. We met in an easy-to-find location, and the group gathered right on time. There were maybe 14 people on the tour, and the group size was just right. At first, people kept to themselves, but quickly began to mingle once beer samples were poured. There was a nice mix of out-of-towners (majority) and a few of us from the area. The locations we visited (there were 4) were all walking distance around downtown and, for non-locals, were probably perfect ones to choose. All staples with good atmospheres and solid beers. (As not only a local, but someone who works downtown, unfortunately, none of the locations or beers were new to me -- but I did enjoy watching others experience our great town.) The guide was great -- did a nice job mixing in information about beer and the brewing process, with a few stories of the locations we visited and city trivia along the way. All and all, I would definitely promote this experience to non-locals in the future. Please note that although Cloud 9 Living only had this tour as an option, Denver Microbrew Tours also has one of the RiNo breweries. A bit more "seedy" in that RiNo continues to be regentrified. However, the area is booming with several small craft breweries and it might be of interest to a local crowd who hasn't been to all of them or who has hesitated to check out the area."

"I'm not a fan of room temperature beer. On this very hot day, cold beer would have been much more enjoyable and would have added greatly to the total experience. The tour guide was great and very hardworking."

"We started out at Breckenridge Brewery. We sat at large tables which gave us a chance to get to know some other "beer tasters." Our guide (Ethan) gave us our first sample then taught us the proper way to taste beer. We sampled three beers and moved on to brewery #2. At each brewery we were given a history and beer samples. During our walk, we were told of some of the area's history which was super-interesting. Overall, it was a great experience and one we will likely do again. Our guide was super-knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend him as a guide!"

"Took the beer tasting tour and really enjoyed it! Guide was very knowledgeable and fun. Only suggestion is with the variety of beers, some quite heavy, it would be nice to have pretzels or crackers to clear the palate between tastings. "

"It was a great experience. We received this as a gift and I'm not actually a "beer snob" but following the tour I am much more knowledgeable which is always a "good thing". Enjoyed our Guide - who even recommended a great place to eat nearby. The places we visited on the tour were quite nice; I would definitely frequent them when in the area.
